A forensic doctor is reborn, sir, please don't bully me!

Chapter 510 Effort

At this moment, Zhao Fei gently nudged Bai Mengfei, who then snapped out of her reverie.

After looking at Zhao Fei, she quickly turned her gaze to the two college students and asked, "Did your two roommates who were murdered have any conflicts or grudges with anyone recently?"

After thinking about it for a while, the two agreed that it was indeed true.

"With whom? What exactly happened?" Bai Mengfei pressed.

One of them said, "Xiao Peng and his girlfriend Xiao Yin broke up."

"Why did you break up? Do you know the details?" Bai Mengfei asked seriously.

After thinking about it carefully, the person said, "Actually, we only have a superficial understanding of this matter; we don't know it very well. The specific situation is that when Xiaopeng returned to the dormitory, he said he saw Xiaoyin with a senior student. He was very angry, so he went over, and Xiaoyin directly broke up with him. Just like that, Xiaopeng was dumped. Because of this, he has been very sad and even threatened to take revenge on Xiaoyin."

Zhao Fei then asked, "So later, did he actually take any action against that girl? In other words, did he put his revenge plan into practice?"

The man thought for a moment, shook his head, and said, "I don't think so. But he did try to beg her. They had an argument in front of the entrepreneurship building at our school, which attracted a lot of onlookers. Xiaoyin, the girl, looked down on Xiaopeng for being poor and told him to stop bothering her, and even slapped him. Many people criticized Xiaoyin's behavior. A few days later, we found that Xiaopeng was missing. We thought he had skipped school because he felt too ashamed, but we never expected that he had been murdered."

After this person finished speaking, another person asked, "Officer, did Xiaopeng commit suicide?"

The first person to speak immediately objected: "Impossible! Even if Xiaopeng really committed suicide, Xiaobin couldn't have done it, could he? Someone must have poisoned them!"

Bai Mengfei nodded slightly, agreeing with the person who spoke first, and said, "Moreover, we speculate that the murderer's next target is likely to be the two of you."

"We understand! Thank you for your protection, officer!" the two said in unison.

"You're welcome. Protecting you is our duty as police officers," Zhao Fei said solemnly.

As he spoke, his brows remained furrowed, as if he had a knot in his heart that he could never untie.

After leaving the interrogation room, Bai Mengfei asked, "Captain Zhao, you look preoccupied."

"Of course, the criminals have actually set their sights on schools, and this case has once again attracted media attention. Actually, it's because the previous serial murder case of teenage girls hasn't been solved yet, so now any little thing that happens at the police station gets closely watched by the media, and even used for sensationalism. I'm worried that if this continues, even my retirement will be in trouble, let alone a promotion."

Bai Mengfei sighed softly and nodded in understanding.

Zhao Fei continued, "Now Xiang Yuntian is gone too. You know, Xiang Yuntian played a big role in every case. Now I only have you and Officer Wang left. Officer Wang is still relatively inexperienced, so I'm very worried about whether you can solve this case. If someone else is murdered and the media starts sensationalizing it, my heart really can't take it."

"You should also take good care of yourself," Bai Mengfei advised.

Zhao Fei nodded slightly, then took out his phone and showed Bai Mengfei the comments from netizens, saying, "See? This shows what it means to be afraid of what people say."

“I saw it. They are all questioning our police’s ability to handle cases, and they think we are not doing our job properly.”

Zhao Fei nodded and said, "That's right! But actually, some of our colleagues have turned half of their hair white in their twenties because of solving cases; others have very serious hair loss."

"Those people just don't understand. They don't realize how complicated these cases are. They think the police can find them out with a simple investigation."

“Yes!” Zhao Fei said to Bai Mengfei as if he had found a kindred spirit, “Actually, they don’t know that I have personally visited the school and students’ homes no less than fifty times these days.”

As he spoke, Zhao Fei's breath trembled slightly, showing that he was truly exhausted.

Bai Mengfei said, "It's alright, I'll take care of things from here."

Seeing that no one was around, Zhao Fei stopped and said to Bai Mengfei, "I know you're here, and I'm glad you're here. But there are some things we both understand. I have no idea when you'll leave. If our case-solving rate drops drastically then, the consequences will be unimaginable."

Hearing Zhao Fei's concerns, Bai Mengfei could only assure him, "As long as I'm here, I will do my best to handle the case well and won't let you down."

“I know, but we can’t put all our hopes on one person.” Zhao Fei suddenly changed the subject. “So now, even someone with Zhang Jie’s potential, I have to take him on. Why? I wanted you to mentor him. Although he’s not an exceptionally outstanding talent, he’s quite obedient. Let me tell you a secret, you were able to nurture Xiang Yuntian, who was like a blank sheet of paper, so mentoring someone else shouldn’t be too difficult for you.”

Just as Zhao Fei was speaking, Zhang Jie walked out of the monitoring room. Seeing them, he walked over with great interest.

Zhao Fei then said to Zhang Jie, "Let me introduce you."

Zhang hurriedly said, "No need for introductions, I've actually known Forensic Doctor Zhang for a long time."

"Oh, that's great. From now on, you'll work with Forensic Doctor Zhang. If you don't understand anything, just ask her. Is that alright?" Zhao Fei asked.

Zhang nodded vigorously and said repeatedly, "Understood! Thank you, Captain Zhao!"

After giving Bai Mengfei a few more instructions, Zhao Fei turned and left. Watching his departing figure, his once straight back now gave off a desolate and lonely feeling.

From his slightly hunched figure, anyone could tell that he was under tremendous psychological pressure.

Bai Mengfei wanted to help Zhao Fei, and even more so, she wanted to protect the city, so she resolved to nurture Zhang Jie. She turned her head, her gaze cold as she looked at Zhang Jie, and asked, "Are you willing to learn anything I teach you?"

“Yes! Although I’m not a forensic doctor, I’m a criminal investigator now. So I think you can teach me a lot of practical things to help me solve cases better,” Zhang Jie said with great enthusiasm.

Bai Mengfei nodded gently, then said the words she had said to Xiang Yuntian back then: "First of all, you need to understand three things. This job is actually very tedious and boring, and it is also very dangerous. In addition, the amount of knowledge involved is countless."

"I will try my best!" Chapter immediately showed a firm determination.
